Looking for a recipe my mother-in-law told me about called “ice cream cookies’?

These cookies contain very few ingredients, and are cooked in the oven, possibly with the oven door open on 150-200 degrees F. I would love to surprise my mom-in-law with the recipe. She’s searched for it for years and her mother passed away a few years ago. Her mom made them for her when she was a little girl, recipe would be from the 50′s or 60′s.

Note: these are not cookies served with ice cream, nor is it an ice cream sandwich
She said these cookies contain alot of powdered sugar.

Does anyone have a recipe from the 1950s or early 60s for this dessert?

2 quarts vanilla ice cream, softened
1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
8 egg whites
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar

DIRECTIONS
Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch round mixing bowl or deep 8-inch square container with foil. Spread ice cream in container, packing firmly. Cover and freeze 8 hours or until firm.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8×8 inch pan.

Bake the Alaska on the lowest shelf, 8 to 10 minutes, or until meringue is lightly browned. Serve at once

If you’re still on…tell me, are they made with confectioner’s sugar? If so, they are my familys Schrafft’s ice cream cookies with a red cherry on top! My great grandmother’s family started serving them in their tea room in NYC in about 1908.

Confectioner’s, powdered, 10X sugar are all the same=been sifted ten times! I think I have your recipe…

Added info: I’ve just spent the past hour trying to e-mail the recipe to you. Contact me again and I’ll try again!

1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Shortening
1 Egg
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 cup Sifted Flour
1/2 cup Chopped nuts (optional)

Cream together sugar and shortening, add egg and vanilla; mix thoroughly. Stir in flour, then nuts.

Drop by small rounded spoonfuls on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350°F for 6 to 8 minutes, or until lightly browned on the bottom.
